AbstractThis short course provides an overview of advanced topics and
recent developments in radiative heat transfer.
ObjectiveStudents acquire analytical skills and knowledge in advanced thermal sciences, pertinent to modern engineering applications.
ContentThe topics covered include an overview of the radiative transfer theory with elements of electrodynamics and optics, radiative properties of molecular gases and gas radiation models, radiative transfer in heterogeneous media, and numerical methods such as advanced Monte Carlo ray tracing. Examples of recent research studies are discussed to demonstrate the application of the fundamental concepts.
Lecture notesLecture notes are distributed in the beginning of each class.
